Instructions

Start by turning the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and adding the bacon to the pot. Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Remove and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Set aside. Drain most of the grease into a heat-save container. Return the pot to the Instant Pot.
In the same pot, working in batches - sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides. Remove and set on the same plate with the bacon.
Leaving the grease in the pot, sauté the onions and garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Add the red wine and deglaze the pot while the wine simmers. (you can do this by scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden cooking utensil)
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then add back the beef and bacon as well as the prepared carrots and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover and lock the lid to the sealing position. Cook on manual high for 35 minutes. Allow a natural release for 10 minutes before doing a quick release of the remaining pressure.
In a small saucepan, cook the mushrooms over medium heat with 1-2 tbsp of olive oil until softened. Add to the pot and stir.

Notes

If you prefer the sauce to be thicker and more like a stew, remove 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid from the pot. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Stir this mixture back into the pot and set the Instant Pot back to the sauté setting. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
